THE FATE OF YOUNG TIPPLERs IN PARTS OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA COAL REGION.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The progress of temperance principles among
the young Irish-Americens OF the eOal region
within the last ten years Is simply without par
allel In the history OF temperance reform In fact
the temperance feeling is now so strong that no
young man can enter the charming circle OF fe-
male society unless he is an avowed temperance
man and wears the Father Mathew badge. 1t has
now come to such pass that the young Irish
American ladies viii have nothing TO do with the
man who drinks. BY raising this boycott against
the boys the girls have played the part OF true
temperance missionaries, In that they succeeded
In driving the young men into the societies.
An illustration OF this was seen in the town Of
Beaver Meadow last spring, when all the girls In
the place combined and resolved that they would
not accept the attention OF any young man until
he had first signed the pledge and joined the st.
AIoy slus society. For while II Was thought the
young ladies were not in earnest, and that the
boycott would soon he lifted. But the young
ladies were determined, and when TIE young iel-
lows found this out they surrendered and iOrth-
with there Was rush for admission into the local
temperance society. The lat ter is now In very
nOur1omng condition. or those who join these
temperance societies about ten out OF IorLy 'fai
from grace" In other words, go back to drink.
But The deSerters downfall does not last long.
After his debauch he sees the folly OF his ways
THINKS how happy he Was when he was sober.
But this Is not the worst. All his friends are
travelling in an opposite direction and shun the
outcast altogether. The result Is that a man " no
breaks his Pledge becomes Disguised with MIN self
and returns TO Lne society. After taxing the pledge
Tor second time he hardly ever goes back to drink
again. The numOer who do break the pleLge
second time Is only one IN seventy. A memuer who
forlelLS his membership In society Ior1eits all his
dues paid into the treasury by MIN. All the sOcle-
ties are beneficial, and take good care OF the sick
WILLOWS, and orphans. The ST. Aloy5iuS Society Oi
Mikesbarre has $50 names On It's rolls and over
$1,000 III It's t. edsury. Inc Father Mathew society
ald the Father Mathew Cadets have 200 III ore
members Every society has u handsome UNIFORM.
